Editorial policy

How we maintain editorial independence, attribute sources, publish dates, and distinguish editorial coverage from commercial pages.

Editorial independence

LineaSonora editorial coverage is produced for readers, not for undisclosed commercial sponsors. Contributors do not accept personal payments to publish about specific products. When equipment loans, event access, or relevant commercial relationships could influence a piece, we disclose them in the article.

Source attribution

We attribute verifiable sources, manufacturer announcements, and cited references. We do not fabricate quotes, sources, specifications, or availability claims. When information is incomplete or contested, we say so and link to primary sources where possible.

Dates and updates

Published articles display original publication dates and, where applicable, update dates in the page, metadata and structured data. We correct date errors when confirmed. Material updates that change meaning are reflected in the article and may be noted editorially.

Review and update process

Articles are drafted, edited, and checked before publication. Technical claims that require specialist validation are routed through editorial review. We update articles when facts change, errors are confirmed, or clearer context becomes available.

Editorial vs commercial surfaces

  • Editorial articles — news, reviews, guides, and listening culture on lineasonora.com section URLs.
  • Commercial / distributor brand sites — separate properties for brand representation in Spain; not editorial newsroom pages.
  • Sponsored material — if ever published, must be clearly labelled; it does not appear as ordinary editorial coverage.

Editorial mention of a brand does not imply LineaSonora distributes or represents that brand unless stated in an appropriate commercial context.

Pricing, availability and MAP

The newsroom does not publish retailer pricing, MAP-sensitive figures, stock status, warranty terms, showroom offers or distribution exclusivity claims unless editorially justified, sourced, and clearly contextualized. Commercial enquiries belong on distributor or brand channels.

AI-assisted production

Where AI-assisted tools support drafting or research, production remains human-directed and editorially checked. We do not publish unreviewed generated copy as finished journalism. We do not invent sources, quotes, specifications, or product claims through automated output.

Editorial illustrations

Hero and editorial illustrations are produced by our own pipeline for editorial context. They are not represented as documentary product photography or official manufacturer assets unless explicitly labelled and sourced. Readers should treat generated editorial art as interpretive, not as a specification or product record.

Corrections and reader reports

Readers can report factual issues, attribution problems, broken links, date errors, translation issues, and image or credit concerns via the corrections page or [email protected]. Confirmed errors may be corrected in the article, clarified inline, noted by the editors, or fixed in metadata.
